15 | Description | ||
16 | ----------- | ||
17 | |||
18 | WARNING: If you have an '810' or '815' motherboard, your standard I2C | ||
19 | temperature sensors are most likely on the 801's I2C bus. You want the | ||
20 | i2c-i801 driver for those, not this driver. | ||
21 | |||
22 | Now for the i2c-i810... | ||
23 | |||
24 | The GMCH chip contains two I2C interfaces. | ||
25 | |||
26 | The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel) which is a | ||
27 | serial channel through the VGA monitor connector to a DDC-compliant | ||
28 | monitor. This interface is defined by the Video Electronics Standards | ||
29 | Association (VESA). The standards are available for purchase at | ||
30 | http://www.vesa.org . | ||
31 | |||
32 | The second interface is a general-purpose I2C bus. It may be connected to a | ||
33 | TV-out chip such as the BT869 or possibly to a digital flat-panel display. | ||
34 | |||
35 | Features | ||
36 | -------- | ||
37 | |||
38 | Both busses use the i2c-algo-bit driver for 'bit banging' | ||
39 | and support for specific transactions is provided by i2c-algo-bit. | ||
40 | |||
41 | Issues | ||
42 | ------ | ||
43 | |||
44 | If you enable bus testing in i2c-algo-bit (insmod i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1), | ||
45 | the test may fail; if so, the i2c-i810 driver won't be inserted. However, | ||
46 | we think this has been fixed. | ||
